Brotherhood Softball League Podcast

On the final podcast for the 2024 BSL season, we welcome host Emad with the BSL operations committee - Commissioner Mo, Riyad and Zahid. The group delve into how the season went, what may be in store for next year, and also respond to some of your mailbag questions. 

As we wrap up the podcast for this softball season, we want to thank all of you for listening, to our guests for providing fresh perspectives, and most importantly, our hosts Emad, Rehan and Umair on putting countless hours into these throughout the summer. See you in 2025!

Heading into the final weekend of the season, we have hosts Umair and Emad go through the results from last Sunday, their thoughts on the matchups heading into Championship Sunday, and lastly, the individual award winners for this season. 

We are only a few nights away from the first playoff weekend of BSL11. Host Rehan is joined by Nasrids GM Jav and Mughals GM Riyad to talk about the matchups heading into this Sunday, and a bunch of other goodness - any time you get Jav, Ray and Riy in a (virtual) room together, you're bound to get some insightful commentary on all things BSL. 

Episode 17 sees host Emad joined by Home Run Derby Champ Ammer of the Seljuqs to discuss the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game, including his prep heading into the derby and how he picked his team as an All-Star captain. The pair is then joined by Taqi, GM of the Ayyubids, to discuss the pre-playoff power rankings that has team groupchats buzzing.

The final weekend of the regular season is upon us. Host Emad is joined by seasoned vet Khizer of the Ottomans and BSL rookie Luqman of the Seljuqs to discuss their team's respective performances last weekend, Luqman's first year in BSL, and playoff seeding heading into Week 13. 

Ray is joined by GM Jav of the Nasrids and Brotherhood Award winner Sameer of the Abbasids this week, and they have a lot to cover. The trio talk about current standings and playoff seeding, and do a deep dive on some offensive numbers. We also get another round of Ray's percentages, get some insight into pocket radar, chime in on the replacement player process and of course provide a recap of last week's games. 

Host Umair is joined by BSL vets Atif of the Seljuqs and Tans of the Sultans. The trio dive into the results over the last few weeks, who's riding momentum at just the right time, and who appears to be losing ground in the race. They also give their takes on the bye weeks, standout players, and who they view as the contenders this season. 

Ray wakes up on the wrong side of the bed while welcoming guests Yasser of the Abbasids and Mike of the Ottomans. The trio recaps this past week's games, plays "Ray's Percentages", "Cap or No Cap", and an intense "Kangaroo Court" where multiple team fines were levied. Mike also shares his perspective on the Big Trade he was involved in and how he saw it all go down.

Host Emad is joined by Aamir of the Nasrids and Hamid of the Mughals to chat about who the frontrunners are for the BSL Awards at this stage of the season. 

This week's podcast features host Umair with Khizer of the Ottomans and Ali of the Seljuqs. We get to hear the guy's thoughts on last weekend's results, the impact the big fields are having on the numbers and offensive production in the League, and also hear a bit about Ali's experience with Team Canada at the T20 Cricket World Cup. Tune in.
